Hi LUGers,
Short is in need of some upgrades and a reboot, so that'll be happening
tonight at approximately midnight. ZNC will be down for the duration of
this process, along with everything else, and you may need to restart any
applications or services you were running (if any).
Thanks for flying with short!

Hi guys,
I skipped some packages with dependency conflicts when updating short on
Friday, so I'm going to take care of those today. Unfortunately ZNC depends
on one of them, so you'll see that blip again. Apologies for any
inconvenience.
This maintenance will occur at approximately midnight tonight.

Good Morning,
Do any of you know of any command-line statistics software with
similar functionality to Mini Tab? Or failing that, a command-line
spreadsheet utility? I have no way of using GUI applications, so
please don't suggest anything in that vain. Either way, I need the
program to either be able tow work with Excel files directly or a
means of converting to and from Excel files.

Hi Jeffery,
I like R language, I think it fills a similar niche.
http://www.r-project.org/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(programming_language)
Reading and writing CSVs is a simple command. There are probably packages
to read/write excel files directly, but I've never needed to do that
(instead of converting from excel to CSV).

Subject: Home partition won't mount automatically.
Message-ID: <CAO2sX33N=sSUMJi9QvoXO=VO-vGY_315ydR89ktjRaYXLeWSnA@mail.gmail.[redacted]>
Good Afternoon,
My Laptop has a 500GB harddrive partitioned as follows:
sda1: 2GB Swap.
sda2: 16GB, reiserfs, root partition.
sda3: reiserfs, want as home partition.
The installer for the distro I'm using(Adriane Knoppix) doesn't
include an option for setting up a separate home partition, so I have
to do things manually. I've moved the contents of /home to /dev/sda3
and added an entry to my fstab(which is attached for reference), but
/dev/sda3 doesn't get mounted when I boot up. When, after a fresh
boot, I choose shell from the Adriane menu, the terminal acts like /
is my home directory(including ~ redirecting to /) and /home is empty.
If I execute the command sudo mount -a, exit to the Adriane menu and
return to the terminal, sda3 is now mounted at /home and things are
working properly, but I shouldn't have to run sudo mount -a everytime
I boot just to get my home partition mounted.
Anyone know why /dev/sda3 isn't being amounted at boot?

Have you tried changing the '0 0' at the end of the sda3 line to '1 2'?

It could be a bad mount order. I'd also consider changing sda2 to '1 1.'

Hi LUG,
As your glorious sysop overlord, I have decided that it would be a good
idea to standardize when maintenance occurs on char and short in order to
minimize unexpected downtime. I think the following schedule is reasonable:
• Apply critical security fixes ASAP
• Update/upgrade all other packages each Saturday
• Reboots on the last day of the month
Unless there are objections, this will be the maintenance schedule going
forward.

Hi LUG,
Our gracious president pointed out to me that weekend events could conflict
with maintenance on Saturdays, so upgrades will be moved to Sunday to avoid
any potential issues. I haven't received any other objections so the new,
finalized schedule is as follows:
• Apply critical security fixes ASAP
• Update/upgrade all other packages each Sunday
• Reboots on the last day of the month
Peace and love!
